One Day Internationals (ODIs)

One Day Internationals (ODIs) are a form of cricket played between national teams, with each team batting once and limited to 50 overs (sets of 6 balls). The match lasts about 8 hours, typically ending in a single day. The goal is to score more runs than the opponent. Bowling and fielding aim to dismiss the opposing team’s batters and restrict their runs. ODIs are popular for their fast-paced, strategic gameplay, balancing aggression and skill. They are a major format in international cricket, fostering intense competition and national pride.
